用随机微分方程建模临床时间序列,捕捉不规则采样下的疾病演化不确定性。

Generative Modeling of Clinical Time Series via Latent Stochastic Differential Equations

  • 将临床数据视为受控随机动力系统的离散观测,用神经SDE建模潜变量动态。
  • 在肺癌药代动力学模拟和12000名患者ICU数据上均优于ODE和LSTM基线。
  • 适合需要不确定性估计的医疗预测场景,如个体化治疗与重症监护决策。

来自电子健康记录和医学登记的数据为理解患者病程和辅助医疗决策提供了前所未有的机会。然而,由于采样不规则、潜藏生理机制复杂以及测量与疾病进展中固有的不确定性,利用这些数据面临重大挑战。为此,我们提出基于潜在神经随机微分方程(SDE)的生成建模框架,将临床时间序列视为底层受控随机动力系统的离散观测。该方法通过模态相关的发射模型对潜变量动态进行建模,并利用变分推断实现状态估计与参数学习。该框架自然处理不规则采样,学习复杂的非线性交互,并在统一可扩展的概率框架内捕捉疾病进展与测量噪声的随机性。我们在两个互补任务上验证:(i) 使用模拟的肺癌药代-药效(PKPD)模型估计个体治疗效果;(ii) 基于12000名患者的实时重症监护室(ICU)数据进行生理信号概率预测。结果表明,该框架在准确性和不确定性估计方面均优于常微分方程和长短期记忆(LSTM)基线模型。这些结果凸显其在支持临床决策中的精准、不确定性感知预测潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Clinical time series data from electronic health records and medical registries offer unprecedented opportunities to understand patient trajectories and inform medical decision-making. However, leveraging such data presents significant challenges due to irregular sampling, complex latent physiology, and inherent uncertainties in both measurements and disease progression. To address these challenges, we propose a generative modeling framework based on latent neural stochastic differential equations (SDEs) that views clinical time series as discrete-time partial observations of an underlying controlled stochastic dynamical system. Our approach models latent dynamics via neural SDEs with modality-dependent emission models, while performing state estimation and parameter learning through variational inference. This formulation naturally handles irregularly sampled observations, learns complex non-linear interactions, and captures the stochasticity of disease progression and measurement noise within a unified scalable probabilistic framework. We validate the framework on two complementary tasks: (i) individual treatment effect estimation using a simulated pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model of lung cancer, and (ii) probabilistic forecasting of physiological signals using real-world intensive care unit (ICU) data from 12,000 patients. Results show that our framework outperforms ordinary differential equation and long short-term memory baseline models in accuracy and uncertainty estimation. These results highlight its potential for enabling precise, uncertainty-aware predictions to support clinical decision-making.
